Wollongong Central Shopping Centre — Local services in Wollongong City Council

I don't understand why people go to this waste because the fat cats of GPT (which you may recall they invested their money from Warrawong Plaza in the past before private equity firm Blackwoods acquired the entire stakes of that mall) invested the land, and in the end they accomplished nothing. They compare themselves to Stockland Shellharbour due to the fact they're incorporating an excessive amount of fashion and jewellery joints; enough to satisfy the feminist masses, that the fact they overly indulge in paying good money for Chinese sweatshop items exported to the country, that it doesn't comply to the Australian Customs law since the clothing we see are generic and bound to rip apart after six or more months depending on the material used there, and that the cynical attempt to convey to some quasi-hippy industrial complex the young people are so comfortable to relate to in terms of awful fashion taste.

It's entirely bothersome in a sense the mall is trying way too hard to become another Melbourne or quite possibly Sydney with matching shops - as long as it doesn't blow the capital up like hot air balloons with the rent. Come to think about it: the shops here don't seem to have any foundation or any dynamics to keep their rent afloat for years if that. I despise everything the mall has acknowledged in the recent years: an all time low is where the KFC joint is, three-quarters of the ceiling is missing and it's deliberately replaced with curvy planks of wood which you can see it seems to be of sentimental value after it has been lacquered, yet there's no love to the design because it appears they had absolutely no money to spend on more cemented ceiling with titanium metal so it can be supported with the cement foundations. It's a travesty however you can see there's electrical wiring and cables there, as with spiderwebs from certain types of spiders (eg; funnel webs, redbacks, daddy longlegs etc.), and you wonder why during the hot and humid months the spiders come out to play to create chaos all along.

I pity everyone who tampered with the mall as much as I pity the investors who played their part of the cesspit. You can only contemplate more revenue blowouts are very common-place with expensive ad campaigns to inspire and invoke consumers without logical reasoning. Pathetic is my main word to call it.

EDIT: Saturday the 20th, 2017 11:23AM - The mall used to be very flashy and it was kept simple for alot of customers back in 2006. They used to have a fruit market next to the massage parlor, and they used to have a very good toy store known as Uncle Pete's. The food court though was well placed in line for anyone who wanted to grab a bite or two until they really feel full.

By 2010, things went quite sketchy when GPT all the sudden compromised the ceilings due to "much-needed" maintenences, with problems running amok for the years to come. It was becoming from bad to worse when the proposed "change" was secretly announced in late-2011 when capitalistic social justice warriors with their millennial views to brainwash their students with oftentimes biased views based on branches of intellectual interest: UOW bought the new section, for a whopping $50 million. A waste of the building, imagine what you could do with the new section - following the cruel hoax in 2014.

People who woked up on the news that the "change" was for the general public to enjoy, must felt really jaded that the old section became the shadow of its former self. GPT can't manage their money for toilet paper, even if they take a diarrhea dump by wiping their briefcases with non-sequential money from the federal reserve, before flushing it down, way down the toilet.

The people who promoted the new section ought to be ashamed of themselves. So should the customers and workers there; it really is a living nightmare from mindless...

I love Wollongong central! Mecca Maxima, Frolic Girls, Tigerlily, Bardot, sports girl, David Jones, Pandora, Simon's jeweller's plus plenty of free Lance Jewellers whose creations are amazing and next to none, H&M, BnT, chemist Warehouse, Priceline HHWH, and so, so, so much more...dont forget about the Friday markets along crown street every Friday! My personal favorite is the House of Gold and Meakins Jewellers on Keira Street, expensive but the quality and creativity speaks for itself, you can have a look in store or have something custom made. All in all the vibe is friendly and respectful and everyone is invited to have a great day, whether it's being pampered at the beauty salons and nail bars! Plus the food court has something to offer everyone whether you prefer vegan, vegetarian, and all great foods inbetween, parking can become a pain but when you see what Crown central has to offer, whether you need to stop in at the many barber's for a hair cut or Coles to do some shopping, the attitude is real 'everyone is welcome and there's something for you I guarantee...' if you have 10mins to spare, go check out the beautiful new range (especially their skirts) that Tigerlily have to offer and they are affordable. If your in touch with who you are then I urge you ladies and those brave men out there to check out the lingere store across from Tigerlily as this store not only holds the most sexy enticing lingere but go inside alittle further and you might find the perfect Xmas present for your self or your partner😊! There's also a customer service desk for those that are fairly new to the area. Enjoy, Enjoy, Enjoy! Don't forget to check out the Xmas sales, I want everyone to get as many bargains as they can just remember stores can be limited so get in there now....

Normally I have a great time here with my son but today I went to the LG Parent's room to do our thing.....only to find six teenage girls in there on a school day no less. I told them to get out. They refused. I asked them if they were children. One of them said yes sarcastically. She was the same brat that came up to me out of the play area, ready to take me on. Her friends said to her don't, she has a kid. Obviously, my son was with me, in his pram. I gave them the finger and left. Don't your team watch the cameras? Can't you see people who clearly shouldn't be in there that enter the parent's room? I went to complain at the Centre Management desk. The woman was attending to someone, that's fine. There was a younger man, blonde, with a high vis security vest on bent over looking at a screen. Surely I was in his peripheral?? Because two elderly ladies came to the desk after me but when he eventually looked up he greeted them instead of me. I had to stop him and say that I was here first and the ladies agreed. But seriously how about just saying that instead of pushing in? Anyway, I told him to check back the cameras and to keep an eye on them. His eyes bore into me and he kept saying yep, yep. No apology, no compassion. Despicable response. Despicable all round. Were it not for various reasons I wouldn't...
